LNAM Managed Forex Strategy Launched – Captures Short and Long Term Price Trends
Houston-based Lillian Nicola Asset Management have designed a diversified forex strategy which performs the primary function as a discretionary, directional trading methodology which enters and disposes of currency pairs within the spot forex market.
The company is a 4.7 exempt NFA Member Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) which was founded by Alessandro Torre and Steven Wendlandt in May 2012 and provides managed forex programs to its clients.
The functionality of the program is intended to capture price trends lasting anywhere from 2 weeks up to 6 months within these markets. The program utilizes a trading approach based upon the tenets of chaos theory, Elliot Wave theory, fractal geometry and price momentum. Positions are scaled into by using a reverse pyramiding technique in attempts to reduce volatility risk as the most risk on any position exists before a trend has been established by price movement and time.
As an off-exchange forex investment strategy, it is aimed at obtaining high risk-adjusted returns while bearing in mind the protection of investor capital against adverse volatility using a discretionary methodology.
There are four categories by which the tenets of the strategy are defined by LNAM:
